CGL Companies | 28 <br />DUTCHESS <br />SHERIFF’S LAW <br />ENFORCEMENT <br />CENTER <br />LOCATION <br />Poughkeepsie, New York <br />SIZE <br />57,100 SF <br />COMPLETION DATEFebruary 2019 <br />PROJECT COST <br />$34.4 Million <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Center <br />represents a new stand-alone facility <br />for the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office, <br />located on the same site as the proposed <br />expansion for the Justice and Transition <br />Center. <br />The Law Enforcement Center is an <br />adaptive re-use and addition to a historic <br />manufacturing building. Components <br />with a public function, such as the Public <br />Lobby, Civil, and Records Divisions and <br />the Pistol Permit Bureau occupy the <br />space below the existing distinctive heavy <br />timber columns, beams and trusses with <br />saw-tooth skylights. These high volume <br />functions allow the public direct access <br />to service counters and the multi-use <br />training/community room, restricting <br />public movement deep into the facility. <br />As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for <br />Dutchess County, the Sheriff must also <br />be accessible to the public. However, <br />visitor access to private offices and work <br />areas within the Sheriff’s Administrative <br />area is monitored and controlled while <br />maintaining an atmosphere of dignity and <br />respect for the public. <br />Within the staff secure area, this project <br />includes a new two-story addition <br />comprising of a vehicular sallyport, <br />small holding area for Road Patrol, <br />Officer Locker and Bunk Rooms, <br />Evidence Processing and Storage, <br />Administrative and Clerical areas for <br />various departments, Training Rooms <br />and Maintenance. Through coordination <br />meetings, we worked with the Sheriff <br />Office to delineate dedicated areas for <br />the logging, processing and storing of <br />evidence in order to preserve the chain of <br />custody. The renovation and addition are <br />seamlessly integrated into one cohesive <br />building that provides a safe and secure <br />operation while being a good neighbor for <br />the community. <br />CGL was retained to define the space <br />program needs, prepare operational <br />narratives, and develop the schematic <br />design drawings for the Law Enforcement <br />Center. Upon completion of the Project <br />Definition effort, CGL was retained again <br />as Owner’s Representative to ensure the <br />design intent was executed throughout <br />the remainder of the design phases.”
